There will be a labeled bin in the lower lobby.  Knowing you have had plenty of other opportunities for donations during Lent, we are stretching this out from the beginning of April through May 1.  If we need to extend the end date, we can do so. Thank you to Laura Graudons,  who has graciously set up a very cool sign up program for us, in the link provided below.   You just check off the item/s you intend to buy.  You will notice there is a cash item at the end of the list to check off if you would like to donate money and have someone else shop for you.  If you prefer to write a check it should still be made out to MSUMW as our checking account is under the old name.
